The isosceles triangle has a base that measures 14 units. The value of y, the length of each leg, must be
equal to 7.
between 7 and 14.
greater than 7.
between 14 and 28.

Respuesta :

we know that

The Triangle Inequality Theorem states that the sum of any [tex] 2 [/tex] sides of a triangle must be greater than the measure of the third side

so

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

[tex] AB=BC=y\ units \\ AC=14\ units [/tex]

1) [tex] AB+AC > BC [/tex]

[tex] x+14 > x [/tex] -----> is ok

2) [tex] AB+BC > AC [/tex]

[tex] y+y > 14\\ 2y > 14\\y > 7\ units [/tex]

therefore

the answer is

The value of y must be greater than [tex] 7 [/tex]

The value of y is greater than 7.

Given

The isosceles triangle has a base that measures 14 units.

What is the triangle inequality theorem?

The Triangle Inequality Theorem states that the sum of any 2 sides of a triangle must be greater than the measure of the third side.

The isosceles triangle has a base that measures 14 units.

Then,

[tex]\rm y+y>14\\\\2y>14\\\\y>\dfrac{14}{2}\\\\y=7[/tex]

Hence, the value of y is greater than 7.
